Choconut – J.C. Lunn rushed into Justice Davies office and made complaint that one, Linda Burrell and Joseph Beagle, had stolen a heifer from his pasture, which belonged to his son, Theodore. A warrant was issued and the parties brought into court, when it developed that Mrs. Burrell was the divorced wife of J.C. Lunn, and she had given her son, Theodore, a calf two years ago, with the understanding that he remain with her till he was 21 years of age. But the boy had trouble with his mother’s husband, who being much larger than the boy, made it unpleasant and decided to depart and take up his abode with his father, taking the heifer with him. As soon as Mrs. Burrell discovered the loss and traced it, she got her brother, Joseph Beagle, to come from her home near Binghamton, to Montrose, by auto, bringing another man to drive the heifer home. The constable, with a warrant, overtook Mrs. Burrell and Beagle, but failed to capture the calf. Theodore was unable to satisfy the Justice that his equity in the heifer would warrant binding over his mother to court on a charge of larceny. They were discharged.

Springville – A large crowd met the train at the station on Friday, the 21st, to see and say good-bye to the 79 first Susquehanna drafted men to go to Uncle Sam. And if Kaiser William could only behold our noble boys, all in uniform, drawn up before him, I think he would die of fright for such as he are always cowards. Many gave up their flags to the boys, for some had none; also they were presented with cigars, etc., from those loyal ones at home. ALSO N.M. Titman and family and L.D.

Bruce Munger and Willard Langford were standing directly in line with the approaching machine, talking about the war, and thinking the auto would stop on reaching the curb. But it didn’t, and there was some lively scrambling to get out of the way. Bruce barked a shin and bruised a knee cap, while Willard escaped unscathed. The latter is a gunner on a merchant vessel traversing the submarine zone, and he expressed himself as anxious to leave our dangerous streets and get back to the quiet life of the man behind the gun.

*An ancient father being asked by a sober young man, how he should choose a wife, he answered him thus: When you see a flock of maids together, run blindfolded among them, and whoever you catch let her be your wife. The young man told him that if he did so he might be deceived. So you may, cried the old man, if your eyes are open; for in the choice of a wife you must not trust your own eyes.
